Speaking of carbon, people think first of the new energy vehicles, solar energy. However, these channels with low carbon emissions, is also hidden from the outside know the benefits of large — the battery. LP-E8 EN-EL3 EN-EL3e

Recently, the ninth session held in Shenzhen China International Battery Seminar / Exhibition (CIBF). Which, like that of a small number of foreign exhibitors, Sony unveiled its latest olivine lithium iron phosphate, president of Sony and president of the species energy component of Mao Shinichi also show to learn more about China market and customers. His acceptance of the South’s exclusive interview for the first time revealed that the latter two cases Sony transporting energy.

support according to its introduction, the economy with low carbon is the trend from last November, Sony will be its battery business, e-business of the slides in the forward position, and provided ¥ 100,000 000,000 (approximately RMB 7.6 billion) in investment, as Sony future new business growth. Electric vehicles, all kinds of new energy solutions for production of electricity in the battery market, are the subject of Sony pregnant. NP-BG1 NP-FC10 NP-FC11

Took the purpose battery market for electric vehicles

With energy conservation and new energy development plan for vehicles and related support policies in place, triggered a wave of new wave of new energy vehicles, and possibly lead to the industrial capital of the nerve. CIBF, the number of companies introduced new energy vehicles for battery solutions, display green elements. We can say that it is a world of cell industry low carbon Cup match.

CIBF Reporter that Sony has for the first time this exhibition featured the latest research findings — with lithium iron phosphate olivine a storage module of new energy. New module energy storage of 1.2 kWh capacity level can be easily reached via the parallel or series of high voltage or high-capacity energy supply security also has significant advantages in terms of.

A sort of Mao-Shen said the economy to low carbon is the future direction of development, energy storage products in Sony can balance the use of renewable energy storage. Sony in new technologies and new energy related industries invested heavily in low carbon emissions. “Phosphate lithium iron olivine is the best example of its many features appropriate for the application of new energy.” BN-VF707 BN-VF714 BN-VF733

According to Sony, New Business Development Department Planning Division Minister Suzuki to play Ming Feng, food storage based on the new product can be used for power sets, as data server UPS U base station or wireless PS Mobile Phone Backup Power. As the energy storage module is highly scalable, next can be applied to wider areas emerging, such as reservations system energy home power solar cars or providing electrical power and so on .

November 2009, Sony released Medium-Term Strategy Group, made a rare business planning of the battery, proposed to take full advantage of the technology of Sony batteries for energy storage and other purposes to provide system solutions, the business research battery electric car. Just last February, the new Sony set up a “center-edge battery development, and strengthening existing energy companies to promote electric cars battery and commercial development and marketing.

It is a sort of Mao-Shen said Sony has already had contact with a number of car manufacturers, including Chinese automakers to achieve cooperation. hp Pavilion dv7 battery hp 550 battery

Ideal “sonyinside”

Sony Corporation in 1991, first made in the global marketing of lithium-ion batteries, starting in 2010, Sony sold in the combined worldwide total of 3 billion batteries, lithium-ion market share of 20% . But first, mainly for portable electronics such as mobile phones, digital cameras, portable power tools. (Southern Metropolis Daily www.nddaily.com Net South)

In 2009, the battery industry in the consumer electronics giant halo resist the Sony group has not been somewhere, and despite the Sony lithium-ion batteries in the world ranking is the second. Report from Sony, after adjustment for the frame, Sony’s consumer electronics Energy Group under Sony and professional group of components in Japan, China and Singapore have a production base in Wuxi. Because B2B products, many products did not even marked so SO GO NY.

“In the past, products of the Sony battery that are unsung heroes, he is in support of our electronic products on the market to gain a competitive advantage.” Kind attention of Mao that the inter-technology and products Zhan F, batteries behind the scenes at the front, because we found that the energy storage systems, storage systems, including electric vehicles, such as new areas with better prospects and opportunities. ” hp pavilion dv4 battery hp pavilion dv5 battery

“Mark is very successful Intel chips,” Intel Inside “a household name, but not enough to say that we are with the image sensor to Sony or Sony batteries. We hope that one day, customers can have the Sony battery inside the concept and a selling point. ”

It is a sort of Mao-Shen introduced in the upcoming Sony invest 100 billion yen in the battery business, doubling sales in three years.

However, Sony in the market, there are strong competitors, Panasonic has today acquired the largest manufacturer of rechargeable batteries, Sanyo’s solar energy, fuel cell, lithium-ion batteries can not be ignored. In China, BYD Li-ion batteries are also the main attack, in competition with Japanese companies.

battery knowledge / 4 Comments

1 Overview

With advances in miniaturization of electronic products, the energy density of current lithium-ion batteries, can not respond to laptops, mobile phones, PDAs and other electronic request. For example: a new P4 laptops in the average consumption is about 100W, if the work Zexu 1kW @ h 10h with 7.4W @ h lithium-ion polymer 140 need, weighing up to 5 ~ 6 kg ; high performance requirements on the CPU 400A/μs conversion rates and 100A peak current, in 2005, this value will reach 1000A/μs and 150A when the mobile phone to receive digital terrestrial television features to increase, with a color screen real great, the Power can be increased to the current (typically 700 mA @ h) 3 ~ 4 times, up to 2A @ h or more. All this power system of microelectronics presented new challenges. While the vehicle to clean fuel-cell development experience and high cost, difficult and slow progress, it generated a developed attempt Smart Fuel Cell, a bold use of new materials, new techniques, research breakthrough nature of progress and test products achieved a successful hydrogen fuel cell-based stand. NB-1L NB-1LH NB-2L

Now he has the energy density of the early 50 ~ 80W @ h / kg up to 1000W @ h / kg, the density of current lithium-ion battery power popular 150 ~ 300W @ h / kg more than most. 1 oz (ounce = 28.35g) fuel cell is the energy released 900mA @ h lithium-ion batteries more than 2 times. Theoretical calculations show that the energy of the fuel cell can provide the same weight of the lithium-ion battery can provide power for three times the upper limit is 30 times. Thus inspired developers to accelerate the development and pace of research on fuel cells. Although there is still the cost of fuel cells, the size, standardization, security and authentication, but developers generally believe that in the next 3-5 years, these problems can be solved, and production volume. Now the market has been the emergence of a fuel cell type pocket for mobile phones in real time the load of the lithium-ion batteries, micro fuel cell that add the price is that of about one U.S. dollar can sustain 20 hours of talk time, rechargeable fuel cell device OEMs to approximately $ 15, this smart development success of fuel cells, in turn, promote systems of car batteries Fuel and distributed power system for residential development, in short the development of fuel cells is growing among the concerns.

2 Fuel Cell Works

fuel cells is a particular fuel, through a proton exchange membrane and catalyst layer of a LC device caused by currents, these batteries as long as the external power supply endless fuel (like hydrogen or methanol ), can provide a continuous feed. It works using a technique called proton exchange membrane, so covered with the catalyst in proton exchange membrane hydrogen under the action of catalytic decomposition of hydrogen from the anode to become a proton, the proton exchange membrane to the cathode through the proton in the hydrogen decomposition process releases electrons, leading to the cathode through the load, thereby creating electricity.

It is within the fuel cell hydrogen and oxygen in the air for chemical reactions, the process of formation of water, while producing a current, can also be understood as the reverse reaction electrolysis of water.

In addition to the supply of hydrogen fuel cell in the anode, the hydrogen protons are also collected (H +), freeing the electrons, the cathode to produce electricity through the electronic capture of the load . role of proton exchange membrane is to allow the proton by H + and the cathode combined with oxygen to produce water. The water temperature in the reaction in the distribution process in the form of water vapor in the air (in the vehicle high-power fuel cell could define water harvesting). Note that using hydrogen for fuel cells is generated by pure drinking, but with methanol as fuel generated formaldehyde in aqueous solution can produce toxic substances, such as not drinking. schematic diagram in Figure 1, the fuel cell works. NB-6L NB-7L NB-8L

According to the work of fuel cells, as the constantly replenish the fuel, the fuel cell can operate continuously to provide power. Currently, the company developed the charge pen-shaped tubular fuel for fuel cells (similar to the milder form), but the small tubes carrying fuel to be changed frequently, it is easy to Platinum electrodes and ruthenium catalyst particle cohesion, performance, aging occurs while reducing the lifespan of fuel cells is currently being improved.

3, the classification of fuel cells

As people of different perspectives on research and development of fuel cells, so that type are numerous, but mainly there are three kinds.

3.1 Exchange Fuel Cell Proton Membrene

Proton Exchange Fuel Cell Membrene (or called polymer electrolyte membrane technology) – referred to as PEM. Because it can provide the traditional lithium-ion battery approximately 5-10 times the energy density greater than that of methanol fuel cells have a higher energy density, so that people are optimistic about hydrogen proton exchange membrane fuel cell technology, but there are storage and security issues, but people are overcome, the last 3 to 5 years is expected to reach Kecun Chu Xiang lightweight container size, filler hydrogen Fadian for your mobile phone a few days, it will be the future of portable electronic Gongdian the system of choice. LP-E4 LP-E5 LP-E6

3.2 Methanol Fuel Cell

Direct Methanol Fuel Cell – called DMFC. It is based on methanol as a fuel, combines with the oxygen produced by current advantage is the direct use of methanol, which eliminates the need for hydrogen production and storage, because in the car already using methanol as a wash windshield scraper, and so there is no security. However, there is a leak of methanol, diluted with water can be solved, but the efficiency of electrolysis is very small, are now addressing the problem of leakage.

3.3 Ethanol Fuel Cell

Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell – short DEFC. To avoid problems of leakage of methanol with alcohol, it is composed of two electrodes, fuel and composition of the electrolyte.

In summary, three types of fuel cell technology is different, both for the third generation (3G) telephony systems to work with food. sony vgp-bsp13/s sony vgp-bps13

4, the source of hydrogen fuel

7000 six rivers in China, although the natural water is not deep, not much traffic, but they can power-generating work, as the hydraulic design of a DC generator, put it in the flow Rivers, Hydraulic power in the drive, use this current electrolysis of water electrolysis equipment, you can obtain hydrogen and oxygen, then after the detection of hydrogen purification, compression, , storage and processing of other techniques, can be 99.999% pure hydrogen. The whole process is a lengthy period on the new green energy systems engineering, manufacturing process development of low pressure in the single production unit high current, while the efficiency of equipment electrolysis of water, the recovery of the detection of hydrogen purification devices, compression and storage in the market for sale are finished.

The hydrogen by electrolysis of water equipment generally 200L/kW h °, if the water is a generator of 50 kW DC, 24 hours a day can produce hydrogen 240kL, so that water is the fuel of future, the future of energy. Figure 2 shows the hydrogen fuel cells extracted and stored in the diagram. sony vgp-bps9a sony vgp-bps9a/b

5 Conclusion

The emergence and development of fuel cells will provide a portable electronic device profound revolution, and also extend to the automotive industry, housing, and social aspects of centralized power system. In the 21st century, it will focus on human beings by the power of a decentralized power in the new era. Although photovoltaics could replace some of the energy, but it is weather related, subject to weather constraints, the use of nuclear energy safety issues, only fuel cell, it has not carbon dioxide emissions, reduce global warming greenhouse problems, he solves the thermal energy to global problems of environmental pollution, it is a pure clean green energy. Therefore, we must accelerate the commercialization of fuel cell process, the Chinese should do something in this energy revolution, to keep pace with global technological development. sony vgp-bps9 sony vgp-bps9/b

News Analysis: solar cell manufacturing from Hong Kong to look long and short term and worry

Posted by admin on June 28, 2010
Battery news / No Comments

South Africa World Cup, so many people know, “British interests in China” – from Hebei, a manufacturer of solar cells. However, while enjoying the football festival, including British interests, including China’s leading manufacturers of solar cells are rarely met a “rainy day. toshiba PA3285U-2BRS toshiba PA3285U-3BRS

As the production capacity of over 95% of exports and over-dependence on the European market, the Chinese Solar cell company in recent months by a number of negative interference continues, the debt crisis in Europe The euro fell, cutting European solar subsidies.

This series of negative factors indicate that Chinese manufacturers of solar cells in recent concerns, there are long and short term. However, the adaptability of Chinese companies trying to control its operating costs and demand ends of the risk.

Chinese manufacturers of solar cells have two distinct features. First, “China Speed” high-speed development, the overall share of 1% from 2003 to 2009 rose 30%, appeared Suntech, Yingli, Trina Solar and battery manufacturers.

Second, excessive reliance on the European market. By 2009, China’s production capacity of solar cells by about 2.4 million kilowatt, but the domestic solar power installed capacity of only 120,000 kilowatts, 95% of production exported, Europe is the market most important.

In recent years, Europe has been at the center of the solar PV world. In 2009, Germany, Spain, Italy and new capabilities of the Czech Republic to more than 4.2 million kilowatts, accounting for 60% of the world. toshiba PA3356U-1BRS toshiba PA3356U-2BRS

From the outset, Greece, Spain and the emergence of other countries in the euro area to the debt crisis, the euro has turned sharply against the U.S. dollar to euro has fallen more 12%, the Chinese solar cell manufacturer has suffered heavy losses.

Suntech is the second largest manufacturer of solar cells, 68% of its products exported to Europe. Suntech in early June in a performance report, the euro fell to the loss of the company is approximately 2.45 billion quarterly loss, but may continue to grow.

CLSA analyst Charles Nagatoku New Energy, said solar energy market sales in China, mainly in Europe, and many settled in euros, though the obvious impact of the euro. Wing Point said that the appreciation of the yuan should impact is relatively low.

But John especially as Chinese companies account for the global solar cell market leader, even if the exchange rate euro / dollar fell to 1 for 1, Chinese companies still have an advantage over European companies. toshiba PA3356U-3BRS toshiba PA3383U-1BRS

CCB International New Energy analyst Xuxin Tong said that the euro will cause the decline in corporate profits, but more worrying is that Spain, Italy, Germany, the traditional use of energy Solar in the economic outlook. Once the reduction of government subsidies on solar energy market demand for batteries may continue to weaken.

This year, the world’s largest solar power generation has several times declared that the German, who must be played from July 1, the price of solar and net subsidies of 15% off – sixteen%, caused by the strong reaction on the market. Spain also plans to reduce electricity subsidies.

Set the State Science and technology research institutions, the latest in a report that the development of solar energy industry and national policies are closely tied to government grants, government grants, also affected by the economic situation world, so that the middle of the solar energy industry is a linked style of architecture, as long as the problem of link, it will affect the entire industry. Sony VGP-BPS18 battery Sony VGP-BPL12 battery

Report that the euro exchange rate on the market of solar cells in the second half of most variables to reduce the depreciation of the euro could lead to the loss of many battery manufacturers to change quoted in U.S. dollars.

Xu Biao Shi Xintong 2008, after the Chinese manufacturers of polycrystalline silicon solar cells subjected to the volatile price pain since last year, the Chinese solar cell manufacturing there is a clear trend that companies are looking Bushao Jiji Binggou or Zhanluehezuo of upstream to downstream integration of the energy chain of solar industry in order to control costs, ensure the needs of the target.

The latest example is the Hong Kong Stock Exchange listed companies platinum and private companies to strategic cooperation Yang Han solar energy. Platinum Yang and Han in the middle of this month in Hong Kong that the Chinese can spend 2.55 billion U.S. dollars of equipment Yang platinum thin film solar manufacturing for the purchase and underwriting of over $ 4.9 billion shares of stock of sun deck, as its second largest shareholder. Sony VGP-BPS14B battery Sony VGP-BPS15/S battery

Han Ming Fong, vice president, said on behalf of the Han can in the next three years in Guangdong, Sichuan and Heilongjiang invest 20 billion yuan, respectively, to set up three production bases use platinum thin film equipment yang, the supply of their own solar power plants Han.

He said after three Chinese capacity of thin-film battery production to over 2 million kilowatts, while the largest solar cell manufacturers, the United States last year, the first solar energy capacity is about 100 million kilowatts.

Platinum Executive Director Peng Yang Libin, after three years the cost of solar power generation of each unit will be around 0.8 yuan, which means China will open the way for explosive growth in solar and expedite the context national and solar installed capacity of 20,000,000 in 2020 goal of kilowatts. As a result, significantly reduce battery manufacturers the risk of excessive dependence on exports. Sony VGP-BPS14/B battery Sony VGP-BPS14/S battery

Charles Nagatoku agree that the cost of 0.8 yuan per degree view of critical points. “If we can reach 0.8 yuan, solar power may be the cheapest offshore wind than the competition. We expect to achieve cost 0.8 yuan per unit objectives, the price of solar cells decreased by 30% more than the current 35%, which can only be realized after 2012. “He said.

Xu Xintong also believes that the high cost of electricity is preventing the development of China’s largest bottleneck in the solar energy, through technical innovation and cost control to reduce prices battery, Chinese manufacturers still take years to achieve.
